What's gel nail polish? lt's a good question.

Here's the short answer:

Gel nail polish is a longer-lasting and more hard-wearing version of regular nail polish. Don't confuse gel polish with gel nail extensions. You could have gel nail extensions and then paint them with a gel nail polish for example. You can easily recognise gel nail polish in the shops because it will not be in a clear bottle. Gel nail polish is always kept in a dark bottle. Gel nail polish lasts longer than regular nail polish. lt is also more resistant to chipping. The downside is

that it is more difficult to remove. To apply gel nail polish you will need an LED or UV lamp.
